Now if they could only prevent the “skidmarks”!
Underwear In Space
CHINAVIEW
March 25th, 2009
A Japanese astronaut is
currently testing out a new
line of stink-free underwear.
Koichi Wakata,
the first Japanese astronaut to
live on the International
Space Station,
is testing the clothes,
called J-ware and created
by textile experts at Japan Women’s
University in Tokyo.
The undergarments are designed
to “kill bacteria, absorb water,
insulate the body and dry quickly.”
Koji Yanagawa,
an official with the Japanese
Aerospace Exploration Agency said,
“He can wear his trunks
more than a week!”
The underwear is also flame
retardant and static free,
as well as stylish and comfortable.
While the Japanese space
program is excited about reducing
the amount of clothing they need
to pack for a shuttle mission,
common customers may be excited
to be able to wear my underwear
for a week,
without having to worry
about the smell!
